Conflict Resolution Tip: Keeping the Peace
Among Neighbors
With the summer just around the
corner, we all will be spending more time
outside enjoying the weather. That will mean
picnics, barbeques, and pick-up basketball
games. These outdoor activities can
also lead to disagreements between
neighbors. One way to help lessen the
tension is to use listening skills.
1. Make a conscious, deliberate effort
to hear what your neighbor is
saying.
2. Relax. Appearing
tense can further escalate
conflict.
3. Maintain eye contact with the
speaker. This lets the speaker know
that you are listening to what they are
saying.
3. Paraphrase. Put what the other
person said into your own words.
4. Ask open-ended questions to clarify or
obtain more information.
Some situations may require help from an
outside person. Mediation can be a viable
way to seek a resolution so neighbors
can move beyond their differences and live
together
peacefully. Cleveland
Mediation Center has a long history of helping
community members live together more peacefully
and in resolving community conflict. CMC had
its beginings helping youth resolve conflicts in
their neighborhoods. Since that time, we
have helped landlords and tenants, neighbors and
whole communities resolve their
differences.
